Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

vulture capatalist is a phrase referring to groups that watch for collapsing systems that then go in and make investments when prices are low, such as when a country's housing market collapses. its not a blanket perjorative for people who try to make money.

TIL. Had no idea it was even already a term but should've guessed as much. Maybe I could spin it to say society as a whole is collapsing, and human life has a low value right now?
